I know this is an older video, but I just found it, and am certainly impressed with your description and explanation along way for how to make the tamales. thanks for putting so much detail with cooking times and steps along the way!

I’ve made these twice now and my boyfriend keeps begging me to make more! They’re amazing! Thank you!

Amazing skills! I watched this video like 10 times before I made them. Just making sure I had a good grasp since it is very involved. You made us seem so easy and it really was with your tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world! I can’t wait to finish them with my best friend tomorrow!

I halved the recipe. It made 24 tamales 🤷‍♀️ Never had made tamales before. I cooked the meat and day ahead so I wouldn't find it too overwhelming. Delicioso! My family gave it a perfect 10! I had to guess how much water to put at the bottom of the pan. 1 cup.

For extra flavor add salt and beef seasoning it really makes a difference! A So don’t forget to mix some of the sauce and beef broth into the masa for even more flavor.

A year old and your video is the most helpful. Thank you for breaking it down step by step!

You are so smart! I have been on a mission to find recipes on how to make MASA for tamales. And I have watched so many videos. Your video is the only one that is so efficient. Like, adding the red chilies to the meat water so everything gets flavor. That is so awesome. And you are the only person that has told me exact ingredients for lard per MASA flour. Everyone says just kinda do what feels right. Or about this much for about this much. I love exact ingredients.

I like it that you makes it easy to follow,not too complicated.

First time attempting tamales, I was stressed about making them and them not turning out correctly but definitely worth it and the whole family loved them!! It’s definitely a long process. I watched the video multiple times as I was making them to be sure I did everything just like stated, got a little stressed but the end result was exactly what I was seeking authentic and delicious tamales!!

Omg ! They look so yummy, can’t wait to try this recipe out!❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️😘😘👍👍👍

Well... It was more work then I imagined...very overwhelming at first so needed to open up a bottle of Modelo in order to start the masa process! ... hated cleaning the husks. Actually I cleaned way to much and had lots left over! So cleaning them took to long and should have did them sooner. Long story short they tasted amazing BUT....they looked like rubber! They didn't look real at all! For hours I went step by step in my head of what I did wrong...so I made them again a week later and this time I made your green Chile and chicken tamles and I nailed it! So thank you and just to let you know I have made so many of your recipes since then like your buttery tortillas, traditional tortillas, all your your salsas, caldo de Pollo, burria tacos, slow cooker beans which I've made already like 5 times. My next project is your menudo! I love you and your husband and hope to have a kitchen like you one day! You are my inspiration!

I've made tamales using this video 5 times now. I've made beef, pork, and turkey tamales with this video. It's the best tamale video on KZread. One change I highly recommend is substituting some of the lard with softened sticks of butter. Otherwise if you use too much lard then the masa does have a lard after-taste even with all the spices in the blender. The butter makes the masa taste much better!!! It does change the consistency of the masa so don't go overboard with the butter. Thank you for such a wonderful video. Your soothing personality and easy to follow instructions have brought joy to the tummies of my family, friends, and neighbors. Merry Christmas.

You can use any meat that falls apart after being slow cooked. Exactly which cuts of deer will do that I don't know, you probably do. :) So far I've made beef, pork, and turkey tamales using this video and to be honest they all taste about the same. I've once used Chicken Bullion for the masa which I do not recommend because the masa has a chicken taste with beef it just tastes weird, conflicting tastes. Use Beef bullion for all meats unless you're specifically making chicken tamales.

Same here I get confidence Then I’m like umm I’ll just order some

😊❤

Great job on the video and it looks delicious., You are very talented. I have a question. I dated a lady from Matamoros and her pork tamales were the best I've ever had but the "Lard" or (fat) she added into the masa dough was in a plastic tub, and had a color to it. I'm assuming it had flavor in it, unlike the purified white lard such as crisco. Would you happened to know what I'm referring to? I'd like to know what it was so I can get it. I just thought I'd ask bc you know your way around a kitchen and food. Gracias

Looks so good wow quick question did you use 8 or 10 cups of masa?

@DJDevon3

2 жыл бұрын

How much masa you make should correlate to how much meat you have. Generally about 1 cup of maseca to 1 lbs of meat. Also adjust the recipe for the amount of lard you use. The first time I made this recipe I only had 3lbs of meat but I made 10lbs worth of masa because I followed the recipe too closely and she uses about 10lbs of beef. hahaha. I didn't have a stand mixer at the time and mixed it all by hand... took me an hour of hand kneading twice the amount of masa I needed. Also I learned the lard absolutely needs to be whipped first or you'll end up kneading for an hour. The 2nd time I made tamales I used a hand mixer with beater attachment to whip the lard (do not use a whisk attachment). Then I hand kneaded the masa and it only took 10 minutes! Whipping the lard makes a huge difference!

I enjoyed your video. I make tamales to survive. Sell many. But one thing I learned is NEVER use hair as a word. I've had many say "a hair is in their tamale". It is not a hair, it is corn silk. Enjoyed your video. Salud.
